6.10.1 Type: vbin8
The vbin8 type encodes up to 255 octets of opaque binary data. The number of octets is first encoded as an
8-bit unsigned integral value. This is followed by the actual data.

6.10.2 Type: str8-latin
The str8-latin type encodes up to 255 octets of iso-8859-15 characters. The number of octets is first encoded
as an 8-bit unsigned integral value. This is followed by the actual characters.

6.10.3 Type: str8
The str8 type encodes up to 255 octets worth of UTF-8 unicode. The number of octets of unicode is first
encoded as an 8-bit unsigned integral value. This is followed by the actual UTF-8 unicode. Note that the
encoded size refers to the number of octets of unicode, not necessarily the number of characters since the
UTF-8 unicode may include multi-byte character sequences.
